yaml parsing error #73
Description
There is something wrong with yaml parsing, let show example:
tasks:
task1:
dir: /etc
command:
- /bin/ls -la
- /bin/pwd
- /bin/printf '%s\nLine-2\n' '=========== Line #1 =================='
Even hash symbol # is enclosed in single quotes, it treated as a comment symbol and as result:
reached EOF without closing quote '
An attempt to escape hash sign as:
tasks:
task1:
dir: /etc
command:
- /bin/ls -la
- /bin/pwd
- /bin/printf '%s\nLine-2\n' '=========== Line \#1 =================='
will fix the problem, but escaping is visible as:
=========== Line \#1 ==================
which is also wrong.
More serious issue happened if we going to process tasks via context:
tasks:
task1:
context: ctx-bin-sh
dir: /etc
command:
- /bin/ls -la
- /bin/pwd
- /bin/printf '%s\nLine-2\n' '=========== Line 1 =================='
contexts:
ctx-bin-sh:
executable:
bin: /bin/sh
args:
- -c
before: echo "================================================================================"
after: echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
First of all before & after assigned in ctx-bin-sh won't show content.
Commands in task1 will pass commands to ctx-bin-sh the only first part ignoring rest of the string.
(quoting commands as "/bin/ls -la" won't help either)
So, /bin/ls -la will be executed simply as /bin/sh (where -la get lost).
printf command will be fired without arguments at all, so result is /bin/printf: missing operand
